Elsevier is a global information analytics business that helps institutions and professionals advance healthcare, open science, and improve performance for the benefit of humanity Elsevier, the modern publishing business, was founded in 1880. It has evolved from a small Dutch publishing house devoted to classical scholarship into an international multimedia publishing business with over 20,000 products for educational and professional science and healthcare communities worldwide. Elsevier takes its name from the original House of Elzevir, a Dutch family publishing house founded in 1580.

Welcome back to The UX Crunch, where we are teaming up with Elsevier again to host the event at their London offices, with this event being focused on how to deliver design for large organisations. With some people still discussing whether UX design is a necessary consideration for product and service design, how do you design for large organisations, either in-house or from an agency?

We would like to invite you straight from work to begin networking with your peers with talks starting at 6.30pm sharp. With food and drinks provided during the interval and plenty of time to network, this will be an awesome opportunity to build your skillset alongside like-minded designers, explore some of the most innovative technology and speak with the lovely Elsevier team about the projects and potential careers available within their agency.

Hiring managers are welcome and if you are interested in hosting or sponsoring an event with us (and would like to get a taste of what we do), please get in touch with Steven Leaton ([masked]) and we can hold you a ticket!

Boon is a Principal UX designer at Elsevier and former lead designer at SapientRazorfish. His work involves solving complex and messy problems that put people at the heart of the solution. He's an active contributor to UX communities, serving on the board of the IxDA and as a local leader for IxDA London.

Design has been evolving within large organisations, where designers increasingly shape not just how products and services work, but also how organisations run and make decisions. But what does it really mean to shape an organisation as a designer? And why does it even matter? In this talk, Boon will share some perspectives on why he thinks shaping organisations is part of the design process and what it means for designers, such as developing an organisational sixth-sense, maintaining paradoxical positions, using invisible structures to facilitate work, and having a curious obsession with failure.
